| Publisher Description: Mabrouk. Congratulations. You have chosen to study Arabic, one of the most beautiful, musical and enduring Classical languages of the world. This book is intended to be used as a primary textbook and consists of two parts: the primary textbook (Part One) and a secondary reader which contains "The Story of Sami and Warda" (Part Two). (Downloadable audio files are available for Part Two). Part One incorporates the lessons of Part Two. Together, the two parts of the textbook provide a complete course in Arabic at both the elementary and intermediate levels. However, Mabrouk can also be used to supplement any textbook already adopted by a language program or department. The book can serve as a comprehensive workbook due to its unprecedented number of exercises and practice material available for students to sharpen their skills. The book focuses on proficiency in all of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The emphasis is on both fluency and accuracy, the two most important goals for any foreign language student. In this book, lessons are presented in a diversified way to keep students interested, focused and productive. Students are exposed to a generous number of practical applications for every grammatical rule, yet the complex and multiple rules that govern the Arabic language are introduced in a very simplified and clear way that is direct and intentionally made easy. All you need to know about Arabic grammar rules and application is presented here and explained in a language easy to understand and use. The book also focuses on vocabulary building and usage of the most commonly used words today. As such, Mabrouk becomes an indispensable book for any dedicated teacher and serious student of Arabic. Students and teachers alike have all of the supplementary practice material they need for a complete course of study at both the elementary and intermediate levels. |
